    Notes:
    "This paper uses the Bissette affair to evaluate the application of 'action theory,' an influential orientation in contemporary political anthropology. ....By applying [Victor W.] Turner's concepts of social drama and political field to the Bissette historical incident and to local-level politics in Morne-Vert, I will demonstrate some inherent strengths but also a decided weakness, given a political economy viewpoint, in Turner's contribution to action theory."
